SpinTunes #1: Round 1 Challenge

I'm A Marvel, And I'm A D.C. - Write a song from the point of view of a superhero or supervillain. (2 minute minimum) (your submission is due June 23rd 11:59PM W)

The title for this round is a direct rip off of ItsJustSomeRandomGuy on YouTube. Your song does not have to be about his show or about one of the characters in it. If you do not directly say in the song who you're writing about, I suggest you include that in your e-mail for the judges. Oh, and I highly recommend you watch ItsJustSomeRandomGuy. His series is amazing.

Clarifications:- You do not have to use the title of the round in the song, and it doesn't have to be the title of your song. Title your song whatever you like.

- The challenge does not say it has to be about a superhero already in existence.

- If I come off as a douchebag with some of my comments...well I'm not used to editing myself on my own blog. Most people in the contest know me, so they know most of it is meant to get a laugh. But for the noobs I will attempt to be less snarky, even though Heather is to blame.

Submitting Entries:- Must be submitted by the given deadline. Otherwise it'll be posted as a shadow.

- Song must be sent in MP3 format. If possible send it in WAV or FLAC as well. If you don't, I'll convert it for upload onto BandCamp myself. Don't complain if my converter sucks & your music suffers though.

- Name the MP3 the song's title, but without spaces & punctuation.

- Title of the e-mail should be the title of the Challenge & your band's name.

- Include the song lyrics in the body of the e-mail. (If your song doesn't have lyrics...consider yourself eliminated. But it can still get posted as a shadow.)

- Include info on anyone that needs credited if you collabed with someone.

- File sharing options if you need them: ZShare, MediaFire, RapidShare & YouSendIt. Please send an e-mail as I already stated, but with the download link if you need one of these services. If I don't click on your e-mail because I think it's spam, well that's tough luck. Follow directions so that doesn't happen.

Short Term Schedule: (I'm using EST)
